4K HDR HDMI Over HDBaseT RX

AT-HDR-EX-70C-RX

The Atlona AT-HDR-EX-70C-RX is a HDBaseT™ to HDMI® receiver for 4K and high dynamic range (HDR) content. It supports extension of 4K/UHD video @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling plus HDR data, multi-channel audio, control signals, and power up to 130 ft. (40 m) or 1080p up to 230 ft. (70 m) over Category 6/6A cable. The AT-HDR-EX-70C-RX is ideal for use with the AT-HDR- CAT-2 and AT-HDR-CAT-8 distribution amplifiers for passing 4K HDR signals to a display. A compact enclosure and remote power supplied by the transmitter means the receiver can be conveniently mounted in furniture, behind a display, or above a projector.

Cable Recommendation Guidelines

Refer to the tables below for recommended cabling when using Altona products with HDBaseT. The green bars indicate the signal quality when using each type of cable. Higher-quality signals are represented by more bars.

IMPORTANT: Stranded or patch cables are not recommended due to performance issues.

*Atlona recommends TIA/EIA 568-B termination for optimal performance.

2. Unzip the .bin file to an easy to locate area of the local PC.
